Attorney General Garland's Luck.

"How on earth did such a bright fellow as

Garland owns near Little Rock. Garland
gets his mail at Little Rock, and is for all
practical purposes a resident of that place.
They worship him there. There is queer
story of how he happened to settle at that
place. He was living in Washington, a little,
unthrifty place, where his parents settled,
when he was admitted to the bar. 1t was no
place for rising lawyer. One day he aston.
ished his office chum by asking him to tie a
handkerchief around his eyes. His friend
complied. Garland took pencil in his hand,
stepped up to a map of the state, whirled his
hand around three times and .jabbed the
pencil at the map. There said the young
lawyer, unite this hard knot and I'll tell you
what I am doing. I'm sick of this town.
I'm going to move to where my pencil struck
the map. If it's town, I'll practice law; if
it's country I'll farm it, if it's river, I'll go to
steamboating.' the pencil had struck Little
Rock, and there he went. A. H. Garland

As the Spirit Wings Its Flight.

At a recent meeting of the Academy OF
Science, NJ. Hayem, of the medical school
read a paper of the phenomena noticed in the
head of an animal after decapitation, with or
without TRANSMISSION of fresh blood. AS soon
as the head is separated from the body the
eyes move convulsively. and a look of wonder
and anxiety is noticeable on the face The
jaws separate with force, and the tongue
seems to be in tetanic state. There appears
to be some consciousness of what is going on,
but this does not last more than three or -four
seconds If preparations have previously
been made so that the head after separation
continues to receive fresh supply of blood
the voluntary manifestations persist as long
as the blood supply is suficient-that is, for
half all hour or SO. When blood supply is
furnished after the head has become entirely
motionless, the phenomena are as follows
Some contractiops, very weak and feeble,
take place, especially in the muscles of the
lips; then some respiratory efforts; reflex &C
tions of the eye, first weak, then well marked,
but the eyelids remain dropping, the senses
are quite asleep, and no will is manifested

Winnipeg's Railroad Prospects.

WINNIPEG, May 17.-Considerable dis
cussion has taken place in the legislature
relative to the governments proposals for
the construction of a railroad to the bound
ary. Estimates submitted place the cost
of construction and equipment at 1854, 900.
All the Winnipeg delegates have now re-
turned. Two members stopped over in st.
Paul to make inquiries for the purpose of
rebuilding the comparative statements of
freight rates submitted by Van Horne. It
was found that between Minneapolis and
Chicago the charge on wheat is ~ cents
per 100 pounds, while on the Canadian Pa
cific, between Winnipeg and Port Arthur,
similar distance, the charge is % cents.

ADAM AND HIS WIFE.

Eve Spoken of as . Lady who Had
Come Of Excellent Stock.
In appearance Eve was exceedingly
gracious and beautiful, full of reticence and
dignity; people always spoke of her as a lady,
and whispered to one another that she had
come Of good stock. To her husband she was
full of a wistful courtesy; it seemed as If he
had made some sacrifice in marrying her, and
her devotion was mingled with gratitude. In
Adam there was less that was peculiar than
in his wife. He would stand often on his
threshold in the evening and look out. He
had forgotten that centuries had passed by,
and was still yearning for the return of his
first born-the wanderer. It was Eve who
In the spring tide turned to the meadow
where the lambs were playing, and she always
went Alone When she came back she would
put her arms around her husbands neck and
kiss him. He did not understand that she
was come from grave; but he was grateful
for the kiss, and drew her away to look at the
young sprouting blades of corn. He had be-
come husbandman and was skilled in the
tilling of the ground.
Eve never looked happier than when he
came home hot and hungry from working in
the fields. She loved to set his meal, lay her
head on his knee, and listen to his talk Of the
wonderful new ways of raising crops and
planting vineyards. He was busy and con-
tented, and there was no regret in his face.
But their conversation did not always turn
on commonplace matters. On winter even
ings they often discussed ancient history, and
showed familiar acquaintance with the
stories we now read in the early chapters of
Genesis. Sometimes they would quarrel and
grow sullen, or violently disagree. Then
Adams voice would be heard in reproach, or
Ewes in contention, and Adam would walk
out and lean against the old swing gate that
seemed to be the natural boundary of his
little domain.
When Eve saw him leaning againstt the gate
and apparently forgetful of her, she would
steal up to him softly and they would walk
home together, new light in their eyes, ALI
age had passed from their faces and there
was majesty in their least caressing touch,
for they had no suspicion of intruders, and
thought only Of each other. After thess
hours Of reconciliation they would speak of
quite another time in their lives, when evi-
IDENTIFY there had been deep accord between
them; then, and then only, was Eve heard to
laugh-a silvery, ringing laugh, full Of un,
imaginable mirth, and Adam, drunk with
the witchery, would grow eloquent and ten.

Review.

A Glance at the Fields.

A TRIBUNE representative took look
at the crops through the field glass of the
interviewer yesterday and found that the
farmers are looking forward with the ut
most confidence in the signs of the times.
The abundant rains and cool weather of
the last week gave the growing grain a
start that is worth millions to Dakota, and
there is every reason to believe that
the crop of the present year will be one of
the most bountiful in the history Of the
country. There is much greater acreage
than was expected and the numerous fields
present most beautiful landscape, with
their deep, rich emerald hue, and the

The Piute Turns an Honest Penny

A Piute Indian recently appeared in Vir
ginia City, New, with two large sacks OF
goose and duck feathers, which he was willing
to exchange for coin. The sacks were stuffed
till they were as round and plump as a
bologna sausage, and apparently weighing
many pounds The Indian considered it q
recommendation to say that the feathers were
all white and the product of abig goosen." In
these latter days even the Piute is beginning
to have an eye to the turning Of an honest
penny. Formerly the only use he found fol-
feathers was as decoration for his warlike
topknot. Now he puts them in a sack and
peddles them among the "pale faces."-Chi

[From Thursdays Daily.1

No one seems able to account for the
strange disappearance of ex-Treasurer
Reed and it is impossible to learn of his
whereabouts. The estimates of the
amount of his shortage have all been too
large and it is now said that he is not over
$4,000 behind in his accounts.
Mr.. Reed is the nephew of the late Alex
ander Mitchell, Of Milwaukee, and comes
from the best stock of Wisconsin, being the
son of the late Judge Reed, who lost his
life in the Newhall house fire. He is a
man of generous impulses and for his
many good traits the people of Bismarck
who reposed confidence in him for six con-
secutive terms as their treasurer, are slow
to believe that he has departed with fraud
ulent intention. 1t would indeed be graft
flying to his thousands of warm personal
friends if he should return and the reports
of his absconding be proven false.
There seems to be no good cause for his
leaving under cloud, as he has friends
who would willingly go to his rescue and
make good the small amount of his short
age.
IL Is SAID that when he left he told his
wife to go to Salt Lake City where her peo-
pie reside and that when he left the Keys
OF the Office with her he told her to give
them to whoever might call for them.
The first move that aroused suspicion
was made by George B. Rice when he at
tached Reeds goods, as they were partn ers
In business in the city and no sooner was
it learned that this was done than all his
creditors in the city pounced down on what
could be found.
1t is most lamentable case, for no mat
ter what prompted Mr.. Reed to leave as he
did, and no matter how honest his inten-
tions may have been, he left in manner
that aroused suspicion and there is little
doubt in the minds of practical men who
throw sentiment to the winds, but that he
mas gone never to return to Bismarck, and
that he is defaulter to the amount OF sew
eral thousand dollars.

show that his bond for the last year was
